Julius Caesar was born in 100BC, eventually becoming one of the most influential leaders in history.
After a bloody civil war, where famously he crossed the Rubicon with his army, he defeated Pompey and the Republicans and was appointed as dictator of Rome, preparing the path for the Imperial might of the Roman Empire.
He died at the hands of Cassius and Brutus on the Ides of March in 44BC and centuries later his life was immortalised by Shakespeare.
Julius Caesar, edited by Lindsay Powell, is published as an ebook on 14 February, 2023.
